What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Yep, behold the glory of our brand new site design! Thanks for the many lovely comments so far; I do hope you'll all find it more streamlined and purty-like.

Shout-out time: many MANY thanks to Awesome Aric (yes, I think that's how I shall refer to him from now on) of Tiki Kitchen Design. Aric has been working with me and John for weeks now, and for every "hey, what if we tried THIS?" he gave us multiple options and somehow managed to mask his desire to throttle us with unbridled patience and enthusiasm. Those of you familiar with web design know just how difficult it is to design a customized site in Blogger, so the fact that Aric was willing to try - and had the skills to write code from the ground up when necessary - has been a godsend. We'll be continuing to tweak some of the links and pages this week, but in the meantime y'all be sure to thank Aric in true CW fashion, k?

And, Aric? We mean that. Truly. ;)

Update: It seems we have all the bugs worked out now but we're hoping you guys can help us out by telling us about any problems you encounter. Let us know okay?

Didn't work in Firefox 3.0.13 on a PC running XP. Refreshing the page fixed it but it was still very slow to load and I have 20Mbsp FIOS. Yes, maybe updating to Firefox 3.5 would solve the problem but I shouldn't have to stay up to the minute just to read a blogger site.

Love your new design! It didn't show up right when I tried the Sunday Sweets for the first time today (using Firefox on Windows Vista), but clicked "Refresh" and haven't encountered any problems since. Go CW!

I'm on Windows Vista and Firefox 3.5.2 and it came up with narrow side bars and a blank page with the plain text blog way down at the bottom, refreshing brought it up just fine and the page looks great!
